Death of Mrs. Butler
Early this morning Mrs. W. E. Butler died at her residence on Third street. A week ago Sunday her illness developed convulsions and she became unconscious and lingered along until this morning without once regaining consciousness. She had the best of medical care and everything possible was done to relieve her suffering but without avail. This afternoon a brief funeral service was held at the house by Rev. F. Doran, when the remains were taken to the train and conveyed to Minneapolis, her former home, for burial. Mr. Butler has the sympathy of many friends.
